Kayson said faintly, “Let’s eat. The dishes are getting cold.”At the Hamilton manor…“What? Who the hell dares to hurt my brother!?” Theodore flew into a rage when he received the call. He was the third brother amongst the Hamiltons.“The Sirens Hotel?” Theodore’s gaze was cold, and his voice was filled with rage. “I see! The Hamiltons have just hired a new fighter. He arrived today, so I sent Irvin to arrange dinner for him.”Keep an eye on the Sirens Hotel. I’m going to shred those who dare to harm my brother into pieces tonight!”After that, he hung up the call and had the driver head toward the highway exit.A luxury Mercedes sedan came off the highway.Theodore hurriedly went forward and greeted the man respectfully, “Mr. Hodge, thank you for coming all the way here from Skyspring.”Benedict smiled and nodded. “Don’t mention it, Mr. Theodore.” Offering Benedict a smile, Theodore said, “Mr. Hodge, Let's go to the hotel for dinner, but before that, there's one thing I nee
Kayson said flatly, “It’s really you. I thought my eyes were failing me again.”The fighter standing before him was one of the three master-level fighters that Kayson had encountered at the Wolfenden mansion in Skyspring back then.When the three of them attacked him, Kayson killed the fighter who used the Thunderpalm technique in one hit. When the remaining two fighters saw how powerful he was, they ran away. Benedict was one of the two that had run away that time.“Mr. Hodge, what are you doing!?”Theodore and his men looked at Benedict in disbelief.Benedict ignored him. He just wanted to kill him right now.If he had known that Kayson was here, he would not have come here at all, no matter what.When the scene of Kayson taking down the fighter in one hit surfaced in his head, Benedict’s legs went weak. He just wanted to dig a hole and run away now.Ever since he ran away from the Wolfenden mansion in Skyspring, he had decided not to set his foot into either Skyspring or Clo
The sight of Benedict pouring wine for Kayson made Bo and Finnick’s eyes twitch, and they looked thrilled beyond words.After drinking for a bit, Kayson asked Benedict, “Why are you here in Northspring?”Benedict answered rather embarrassedly, “I’m here for a living… The Hamiltons are recruiting a new fighter guard, so I came.”“How much is it per month?” Kayson asked.Benedict was taken aback before he answered, “Uh, the market price is $150,000 a month…”Kayson thought about it and told him, “Why don’t you work for me? I’ll pay you $160,000 a month.”He pointed at Rowena and said, “This is the current deputy general manager of the Sirens Hotel. When she’s familiar with her job, she’ll be promoted to the general manager of the hotel.“You’ll protect her here and also be in charge of the hotel security.”Benedict responded fervently, “I’d love to! It’d be an honor to work for you!“As for the salary, just pay me like an ordinary person. I don’t need $150,000 a month. It’s too
Kayson was slightly taken aback before he answered, “We just got to know each other.”Shyla stayed stoic. Who would buy that they had just gotten to know each other when they had come back so late after going out together!?Kayson went inside, and Cecile smiled. “You’re back, Kayson. Are you hungry? I can make you something.”“No, I’m good. I brought some yummy things back for you.”Kayson had gotten some expensive dishes back from the Sirens Hotel. The chefs there cooked so well that even he did not have much to complain about. He believed that Cecile would like the food.Cecile nodded quietly, looking at the spread of expensive dishes before she called Shyla in to eat with her.When Shyla tasted the food, she felt her eyes glow. “Not bad. Which hotel did you get the food from?”“The Sirens Hotel.”“The Sirens Hotel? It’s no wonder… I heard that the chefs there are the best even among their peers.”Kayson smiled. “I’m not sure about that, but since even the great Ms. Tinsley
Shyla shuddered, and an unprecedented pleasure caused her to moan in reflex. As soon as she did, though, she blushed until she turned scarlet. It was so embarrassing!Kayson withdrew his lightning energy and said, “You’re fine now.”“I-I’ll go to bed then!”Shyla, who thought of her moan just now, wanted to bury herself underground as she scurried out of the room in embarrassment.Kayson did not mind and just called Cecile in.A while later, the latter ran out of the room with a crimson face as well.Kayson slept in Timothy’s room while Shyla and Cecile shared a room.As Kayson remedied the toxin in both girls, an old man in plain gray clothes opened his eyes abruptly in a cave several kilometers away.“The two poisonous energies were cured not even three minutes apart. This person’s energy repertoire is unimaginably dense.” The old man sighed. “Looks like I need to get the Hamilton-style swordsmanship manual soon, or I might not be able to fight him…”The old man in gray was
The sales associate regained clarity the moment Kayson pulled out the ball of mind power left in her. She stared at the black globule of energy on Kayson’s needle in disbelief and asked, “What is this?”She could not move but she could hear and see.“The medium the culprit left in you to control you.” Kayson produced a porcelain vial and put the energy in with a wooden cork that had a rune on it.Even though the sales associate found it absurd, she believed it now. There was really something as bizarre in this world!Shyla went up to her with a soft smile. “Don’t be scared. What’s your name?”“I-I’m Waverly Faber.”“I’m Shyla Tinsley, and this is my sister, Cecile Redcliff, and my boyfriend, Kayson Yarde.”Kayson glanced at Shyla as she said that, but the latter seemed unfazed. She was not looking at Kayson as she asked Waverly, “Waverly, have you come across a strange or peculiar person lately?”“No, I’ve been working basically every day,” Waverly answered.Kayson walked to t
Kayson was stunned as he walked in.“The Hamiltons?”Precisely. A sign that spelled the words “Hamilton Manor” was hanging by the entrance of the manor.Kayson’s expression was cold as he frowned. Could the Hamiltons have ordered the culprit to poison Cecile and Shyla? In that case, he was not letting them off the hook, even if Zachary stepped in!Shyla could not help wondering, “Northspring’s Hamiltons… The Hamiltons poisoned me? That can’t be… The Tinsleys have never offended the Hamiltons!”Then, a loud boom came from the deepest part of the manor before a thick billow of smoke rose.As Kayson raked the area with his mind expansion ability, there was a subtle change in his expression. Then, he told the girls seriously, “Try to go where the smoke is as soon as you can. I’ll rush there first!”Amid the sound of a thunderbolt, Kayson sprinted off like a flash of lightning.Moments later, he reached a lavish courtyard, but as soon as he stepped in, he was greeted by scattered co
Kayson looked at Claude. “Your poison energy is indeed something of substance.”Claude was shocked. He had absolute confidence in his poison energy. When he was a late-stage master-level fighter, he had relied on his poison energy to assassinate a grandmaster.Now that he was in a different league, his poison energy was much greater than before. He believed that no grandmaster could withstand the power of his poison energy.“Young man, you can only blame yourself for serving yourself in a dish. I had initially planned to get my hands on the Hamilton-style swordsmanship manual before taking you out.”Kayson seemed to be tired. His body was shaking, and it seemed like he would fall any moment now. He gnashed his teeth and asked, “Hamilton-style swordsmanship? What is it?”Claude let out a chuckle. “The Hamiltons’ previous head of the family, the father of Zephyr Hamilton, was a master-level practitioner when he was young. In fact, he majored in swordsmanship. His skills are known to
